2 Claims.

This invention relates to knock-down, set-up separate confining orbacking strips, such as strips l of my'said patent, whereby greateconomy of manufacture is accomplishedr while at the same time astronger box bottom is obtained. f Inv the accompanying drawings:

'g3 Referring now in' detail w the drawings. A

(GUI. 229-23) designates the top; B the body and C the bottom, the topor cover A being removable and replaceable on the upper end of the bodyB andthe bottom C being, in assembled relation,locked to -the lower endof thebody'B so as.- to be in- I separable therefrom without mutilationand without the use of special tools.

The bodyr B may be formed of a suitable cardboard or 'paste-board blankvertically scored at suitable points with foldlines and providedwith I6-an adhesive-coated lap G for pasting it together i: in the form of asquare or othersuitable form a,

body provided at its top with preferably integral inwardly foldingmitredend spacing and bracing iian'ges E and at its lower end withsimilar 1E' iianges E having the same functions, there being providedpreferably integral laterally outwardly upwardly inclined locking'tongues F, all constructed, arranged and functioning as set forth anddescribed in the patent above referred to.

The bottom C will be ofsuch size and shape as to just snugly receivebetween the inner faces of its lip or vflange the lower 'end of the bodyB; said lip being of such height as to extend upward along the body Bbeyond the upper ends of the 25 locking tongues F and being formed with'tonguereceiving sockets or openings 9 in the panels 'dand-tongue-passage' openings 9' in the panels 3. Preferably adhesive, asindicated by stipplmg Ain Fig. 2, will be applied Vto the outer faces of3@ the panels I, whichare to be folded inward along a scored line a and1 pasted to the inner faces of the panels- 2 respectively.
